Baha Mar Versus Melia Versus Blue Lagoon

Hello,

We are trying to decide between Melia, Blue Lagoon, and now Baha Mar. I read that Baha Mar doesn't offer day passes, but you can rent a room for the day. Our ship will be there 10-5.

We don't want to do a ship excursion. Have two kids 6 and 8 - looking for calm ocean water, nice pool and a relaxing time.

What do you recommend between these three options? We did Melia when it was Sheraton and enjoyed it a few years ago. TIA!

I’ve only been to the Melia, Blue Lagoon doesn’t have a pool, I have priced out Baha Mar (looks amazing), but a room with fees is over $350.

We got a room at Baha Mar next year for around $225 with fees. Probably just depends on time of year. If you want the best beach/pool, it'll be Baha Mar by a long shot. Especially their blue hole pool with the jumping rocks and cave with shark tank. I imagine your kids would go nuts there. Melia will be less spectacular but it's the same beach and still very nice pools - and cheaper. Blue Lagoon has no pools. The beaches should be calm at all 3 locations you asked about.

Thank you! I just checked and it will be 225 for us as well! When is your cruise? We are sailing in September

October. It's off season I guess. Its about the same price as taking 4 on an excursion. And you don't have to do the whole wristband, meeting on the pier, etc. Etc.

Not sure if you can but could you post the link that you booked through

 

Thanks

I booked directly with Grand Hyatt. Nothing special.

I am hoping they will let us check in early! Our ship docks at 8 or 9 am. We won't need the actual room we reserve, just the key card. Has anyone done this and have feedback, information, etc?

You can definitely check in before the room is ready. No problem. Done it twice.
